I got an iPod touch

Aerozord · 05-25-2011, 05:18 PM

so any games or apps you guys know of that are must haves?

An iPod touch is the same as an iPhone, sans phone? If so, I'd certainly recommend at least one of the Angry Birds games. Pandora should be free & is a great free radio service. I like the G4 app for occasional news updates.

Really haven't got much beyond that I'd recommend. I have other stuff, but it's either for the iPad or I regret buying it.

ah yes, this is something I learned when I bought it, only differance between an ipod touch and an iphone is the iphone is also a phone. I cant make calls and need to be in a wireless hotspot, besides that they are exactly the same right down to the operating system. So all the apps and games for iphone will work

I know a lot of folks play that Angry Birds.
My group of friends are engaged in various Scrabble matches via Words With Friends, an app that is available both for iPhone OS and Android and lets folks with either client play each other.

I have an Android phone, so I can't really comment on other games much. I know there's a decent Trivial Pursuit game floating around, and a close friend of mine has a great battleship game on his iPhone. I don't recall its name, but you can select special powers in one game mode (like a larger AoE strike, a shield for your ships, etc.) and we were passing the phone back and forth for turns.

Mostly, though, if I want mobile games I use my DS. The Scrabble game is the only one I've kept installed on my phone beyond a Bejewled clone.

well, yes and no. the latest iPhone and Ipod Touch look fairly different, but the guts are more or less the same, with a few things (3g antenna, etc) removed.

and, Again, i place my suggestion of Song Summoner

Sorry, first thing that came to mind.

But yeah, definitely get Words With Friends if Scrabble is your thing (if any of your friends have Androids, you can play with them as well on the same system..which I now see synk already mentioned...).

I like the daily Sudoku app as well.

skype app and in Wifi areas you can turn your not phone into a web phone.
Angry birds has a cult following for a good reason.
Dragon dictation is great if you want to write up something fast and send it off.
The Weather channel is great as its both free and allows you to radar your suroundings.
also the Free Wifi database is a must.

IIRC, Ghost Trick and Phoenix Wright are available for the iPod touch and iPhone. Get them and send your iPod to me

. Other than that, I dunno of any apps

I would recommend Infinity Blade. It gets a little frustrating sometimes because of the small screen, but it's definitely one of the best looking games on the iPod and probably the one I've spent the most time playing, and it's only 3 bucks. If you're looking for something a bit slower paced and more in the style of JRPGs, Chaos Rings isn't too bad, but it really isn't anything to write home about.
